Definitions
- fig.1/3 is a sequence of images showing the hair loss phases and a graphic representation of the type of massage performed.
- Fig 2/3 shows the various parts making up the device.
- Fig 3/3 is a block diagram referring to the implemented electronics.
- the device described in this paper performs a combined detachment, photostimulation and vibration massage; it is based on an innovative pressure therapy system which does not require any compressed air.
- the development of technical devices for personal care purposes is a continuously evolving sector relying on a number of different applied technologies: vibration, pressure, stretching, light, electric current, laser, ultrasound are only some of the techniques applied each time to obtain dedicated systems suitable for specific conditions or requirements. To implement a product which is also likely to sell, these technologies must be applied at reasonable prices and by fulfilling aesthetic, medical and ergonomic requirements.
- the above mentioned device is in line with these preconditions as it uses innovative technical solutions which are beneficial for problems related to blood circulation and
- baldness is caused by, among other factors, poor blood supply to the scalp; this is the reason why all hair loss treatment techniques tend to restore blood circulation and microcirculation locally.
- the device can be programmed and used with only 2 control buttons: a "+" button fig.18 , which causes the elastic support to close and consequently lifts the scalp, fig. 5, and a "-" button fig.19 which causes the elastic support to open fig.4.
- the end user will control elastic support tightening by pressing the button fig.18 until the required detachment is obtained; when the user releases the 75 button, the system begins to work according to the programmed cycle.
- the cycle time can be programmed between 1 second to hundreds of seconds, by cyclically opening and closing the elastic support. Consequently, pressure will increase proportionally to the elastic support closing time.
- the motor will turn more slowly than in the decompression phase as it is not under stress; consequently,
- the vibrator consists of a motor causing a cam to rotate; the vibrator speed fig.21 follows a pattern stored in a microprocessor fig.20.
- the vibrator is integral with the elastic support which goes up and down to
